Deranged sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump is doing everything he can to push evil elf Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III from office, the better to end the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Rump's criminal dealings with Russia. Here's the twit- in- chief this morning:
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2017
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign - "quietly working to boost Clinton." So where is the investigation A.G. @seanhannity— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2017
(Note the addressee for the last tweet -- the shitgibbon's alter ego.)
The shitgibbon must be feeling the hot breath of Mueller's investigation on his fat neck. No one expects that this drumbeat of abuse can last much longer; expect Beauregard to exit one way or another very soon.
This is another illustration not just of Rump's banana republican call to use the Justice Department to investigate a political rival; not just of Rump's disloyalty to one of his most loyal supporters; but of Congressional Republicans' spinelessness in the face of Rump's clear attempts to obstruct justice. Were they to tell him that firing Sessions at this point would change the dynamic and put impeachment on the table, Rump and his stooges would have to think twice about pulling off such an obvious coup against the rule of law. But, as far as anyone knows, it's

If you have any doubts, check out the reaction of Republican Weasel of the House Paul "Lyin'" Ryan. Gotta get those tax cuts for the wealthy and screw everyone else!
UPDATE: Sources close to Beauregard say he's "pissed" at Rump's jabs, and won't give Rump the satisfaction of quitting. Popcorn anyone?
UPDATE II: George Bush's former ethics czar says Rump's call for Clinton to be prosecuted is an impeachable offense.
